INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Workingman's 2x10C Bass Combo Amplifier! You now own the most powerful combo amp in SWR's world-renowned Workingman's Line of products, a line designed for bassists who expect typical SWR professional quality at affordable prices. In today's crowded market, it's easy to forget that SWR pioneered the concept of the 2x10 + tweeter bass combo amp in the late 1980's with the introduction of the now-famous Redhead. The piece quickly became the first-call amplifier of first-call studio musicians in New York and Los Angeles, attaining legendary status for its crystal-clear sound, studio-specific feature set, and ample headroom. As its reputation grew, more and more people began using it as a live application amplifier, sometimes with a 2x10 or 1x15 extension cabinet hooked up to take full advantage of the amplifier's tone and power capabilities. Meanwhile, over time, we received numerous requests from our customers to produce a line of products that would incorporate SWR's accurate sound, high reliability, quality components, and hand-made craftsmanship - but at an overall lower cost. This resulted in the development of the Workingman's Series of amplification from SWR. The precision electronic section featured in the Workingman's Series is entirely hand-built, employing a variety of technologies selected for their sound quality and practical usefulness in a roadworthy and studio-ready amplifier, including an all-discrete initial gain stage in the preamplifier section and discrete solid-state design in the power amplifier. Regardless of its lower price, the Workingman's Series offers no compromises of the essential SWR design and construction philosophy. Corners are not cut from a more elaborate model: rather, each product's design parameters are conceived from the ground up and the best available components are selected for each application. Such was the case with the Workingman's 4004 amplifier, a 260/400 watt head that has proven to be one of the most successful and widely-used products in SWR's history since its release in 1999. We constantly strive to listen to our customers, and you've told us repeatedly that you wanted a 2x10 + tweeter combo amp in the Workingman's Series. Keeping SWR's design philosophy in mind, we custom- designed a 10" driver specifically for this combo amp, tweaked the design of the popular Workingman's 4004 head, and listened and soundtested repeatedly until it met and exceeded the demands of the many bassists (from inside and outside the company) who tried it. The fast all-solid-state response, the 260-watts (stand- alone)/400 watts (with any Workingman's extension speaker) power delivery, and the famous SWR sound are all there. Just like you asked for. It's all part of SWR's commitment to providing today's bassists with the tools necessary for the pursuit of the ultimate goal: finding equipment that not only does the job, but actually enhances the overall musical experience and contributes to the creative process. Everyone here at SWR sincerely hopes that the purchase of your Workingman's 2x10C helps you get there from here…and beyond. Please take the time to read your Owner's Manual thoroughly and completely, so that you can realize the full potential of your new Workingman's 2x10C Bass Combo Amplifier. Once again, thanks for your purchase, and for letting SWR help Amplify Your Future.™ Sincerely, SWR NoteNote: Please take a moment to verify that the following items were included in your SWR Workingman's 2x10C packaging: AC Cable, (4) heavy-duty caster wheels, SWR Catalog.
